"The Dodgers took two steps forward and one step back in their quest for full strength Friday, putting Glasnow on the injured list because of back spasms while planning to activate Snell from the injured list on Saturday and Betts on Monday."
"Glasnow left Wednesday's game because of the injury. An MRI examination revealed "nothing really significant," according to manager Dave Roberts, but the IL stint allows Glasnow to avoid rushing to be ready for his next start, with the bigger October picture in mind."
"With Glasnow's status in question, the Dodgers on Thursday reconsidered their plan for Snell. They originally planned for him to make a final rehabilitation start Saturday, but Roberts said the pitcher and the team agreed he could throw the planned five innings in Los Angeles as well as he could in Ontario."
"Betts strained an oblique muscle April 4. The shortstop is scheduled to play two minor league rehabilitation games Oklahoma City Friday and Saturday, then return to Los Angeles for evaluation, with the hope he'll be cleared for activation Monday. "We're not going to run him out there every single day," Roberts said."
Tyler Glasnow was placed on the injured list due to back spasms, while Blake Snell was planned for activation on Saturday and Mookie Betts on Monday. Snell’s Saturday start would be his first since the World Series after beginning the season on the injured list for shoulder fatigue. Glasnow left a game with an injury, and an MRI showed no major findings, but the injured list helps avoid rushing for the next start. The Dodgers adjusted Snell’s rehabilitation plan and recalled Paul Gervase to fill the roster spot. Betts strained an oblique muscle and will play two minor league rehab games before returning for evaluation, with hopes for activation Monday.
